Multiple Internet service providers with Win95




I have two different Internet accounts. One is using SLIP and the other is using PPP. Both accounts are with different service providers. My question is, is there a way for me to setup my dial-up networking such that I can have two different TCP/IP properties settings?

Gabriel, it's easy to have multiple Internet Service Providers using Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking. Just create two different dial-up networking connections. I have five set up on my machine. Double-click on Dial-Up Networking , select New Connection, and give the connection a name. When you're finished creating the connection, right-click on it and select Properties to enter the ISP details. The important details are the phone number, the Server Type and the TCP/IP settings. You need to obtain these from your Internet Service Providers. In our September issue, p147, we published a detailed explanation of creating a Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking connection for Ozemail. The approach is similar for other ISPs.
